WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Tony® and Emmy® award-winning actress Bebe Neuwirth stars in the title role of Here Lies Jenny, conceived and directed by Roger Rees, choreographed by Anne Reinking with music direction by Leslie Stifelman. Jenny, a one-time saloon singer, is drawn inside a bar that, like her, has seen better days. Set to the songs of Kurt Weill, the highs and lows of Jenny's checkered existence are relived among the sleazy bar denizens who inhabit the saloon, ultimately allowing Jenny to find the strength needed to face another day.
